RE: The Last 311 Sep 2020 20:59
Amazing how many of us who have declared we are in the black or just about there, and 3 others I know also the same. All of us that I know bought at first in the40s or late 30s and we seem to have arrived at 12/14 our averages.
As Ivy said a couple of days back, it is the journey to concentrate on not the destination, how true. Never having been in this situation before, tryimg to adjust to the level we are now at. Am I trying to take profits or waiting for my 50p?? So for now just .5 off break even, did10 trades since January, made on 9 during the 5.5/9 range, and let go off my OOshares too early at 8.6p. But so grateful given circumstances that I have 200k to hold for now, given I managed to put away £300 a month for 8 years which if life was a bit normal I probably wouldn"t have had. Funny enough the 24k shares I got were paid for by 2 previous trades profit, so I realised £2040 from £1300 invested and decided to do an Amazon blitz, new bedding, cushions, shower set, rugs, all things I had wanted to do for ages whilst adding around 6p and selling about 8.5 £1500 a go. Having never traded before I really enjoyed it, just mainting my core and trading 10/15% of core, hard not to enjoy it when you are winning. I remeber justa few weeks back my P/L was showing a touch over £10k, tonight at 12.70 on bid £25,400 just short of the £26.5k I have invested.
As a few people this week know it is a great feeling clawing back from a first purchase at 41p, then 35.8 and 32. Well done to all who have achieved it it is a great feeling, and IMHO we could well hit 20p in the near future. Tuesday was a memorable day, seeing an 18.5 volume, over 500 trades and even today 9m volume over 200 trades.
Going into hospital next week, not sure for how long, seems to be a recurrance in the lung and a new hotspot where the sun don"t shine, strangely looking forward to it, I can deal with the known, like many the unknown does my head in.
Will have my computer with me and a new book been wanting to read for months, anyone got some good stories about retrospect and even stratagy at this stage. I have always had a figure of 50p in my head, anything above that I would take happily, lol. So yeah really interested in stratagies you guys have now we are in pretty uncharted waters at 13p. Seems so long ago we were last here, so I think for now for all the hard work getting here I will just let my 200k run and review accordingly.
Just a short message to those with averages a bit higher, the very best to you in the coming weeks, was delighted to hear smpunter delare he is up 75% now after a couple of times unsure whether to carry on, well done, we have passed the "patience" tests.
Been a great BB all week, so many contributions, just happy to listen and learn and 8 years on plenty of that to do still.
As far as rows go, lets all just bury the past, pretty sure newbies are mystified and put off by it, so lets do it, life is short.
ROLL on Monday, ATB..........C
